Anita is currently coaching her husband to be auction-ready when he bids solo for their next home…his wife is rather busy on Saturdays attending other people's auctions.
ONE of Sydney’s cheapest homes in the western suburb of Willmot sold to an investor for $510,000 today — 20,000 above reserve.
Of the 13 who registered to bid for the three-bedroom cottage on an overgrown 675-square metre block at 230 Captain Cook Drive, there were eight investors.
Some were from Penrith, Blacktown, Liverpool and even Albury but it was a Ryde investor who won it.
The first bid was $380,000 and it went up in mostly $20,000 bids.
Daniel Montes de Oca of Wiseberry Prestons/Liverpool said even though the rental return of $330-$360 a week isn’t that good, the capital growth would be great.
CoreLogic said the median house price for three-bedroom homes in Wilmot is $440,000.
Another set of investors beat first home buyers at the auction of a three-bedroom brick home at Blacktown.
First time on the market, 50 Dora Street sold $100,000 above reserve for $800,000 to a Baulkham Hills investor family.
There were 20 registrations for the home on 695-square metres of land.
Shondel Surma of LJ Hooker Stanhope Gardens said the rental return would be $420-$440 a week.
Another investor family from Georges Hall also snapped up a home in Fairfield West for $761,000.
The three-bedroom clad-and-tile home on a 582 square metre block at 67 Tasman Parade had nine investors and family owner occupiers register.
Graham Ball of Graham Ball Estate Agents Wetherill said the new owners paid $86,000 above reserve and it will rent it out at $500 a week.
